Definitions
- the present invention relates to a protection device with increased functionality, particularly for syringes and the like.
- needle instruments such as syringes and the like, which are adapted to extract and/or inject liquids by means of a needle.
- conventional needle instruments are generally provided with a covering cap that fits over the needle of the instrument, to protect it, and which can be removably fixed to the instrument in such a way as to avoid accidental injury to the operator or to avoid the operator coming into contact with the contaminant or harmful substances when the needle is not being used for performing extraction or injection operations.
- the covering cap has a cannula shape of length substantially equal to that of the needle to be covered and with at least one end perforated so as to allow the needle of the instrument to be inserted.
- the needle of the instrument which is integral with the instrument proper, can be repeatedly inserted into and extracted from the covering cap between one extraction and the next or between one injection and the next.
- the recapping operation is performed manually by , the operator, holding the covering cap in one hand and the needle instrument in the other hand.
- protection devices consist of a tubular grip which is adapted to accommodate the protective cap of the needle instruments and which is provided, at one end thereof, with a protection pan perforated at the inner cavity of the grip in order to permit the insertion into and the extraction from the covering cap between one extraction and the next or between one injection and the next.
- the cap remains accommodated in the grip of the protection device until the next recapping.
- Conventional protection devices are not devoid of drawbacks, including the fact that they cannot be placed on a resting surface, for example a worktable, in a stable position if the needle instrument is inserted with its needle in the tubular grip.
- the aim of the present invention is to provide a protection device with improved functionality, particularly for syringes and the like, which enables both its stable positioning on a resting surface even with the needle applied to the needle instrument and also the recapping of the needle even with one hand only.
- an object of the present invention consists in providing a protection device with improved functionality that is simple to implement, easy to use, and at low cost.
- a protection device with improved functionality particularly for syringes or the like, comprising a supporting body which is provided with a through hole for the insertion of the covering cap of a needle of a syringe or the like, characterized in that said supporting body has at least one flat face, which is arranged on the opposite side with respect to a face for the insertion of said covering cap in said hole, for the resting contact of said supporting body on a resting surface or the like, said face that lies opposite said flat face being provided with a raised perimetric containment rim, said hole having a diameter that is substantially larger than the diameter of the central portion of said covering cap and substantially smaller than the diameter of the end portion of said covering cap at the end for the insertion of said needle, a collar being provided around said hole, said collar being provided around said hole, said collar
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a preferred, but not exclusive, embodiment of a protection device with improved functionality, particularly for syringes and the like, according to the invention, showing a syringe during the insertion thereof into the protection device;
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the protection device and of the syringe shown in Figure 1 after insertion;
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of the protection device and of the syringe shown in Figure 1 after insertion and with the protection device placed on a resting surface in a first stable position thereof;
- Figure 4 is a perspective view of the protection device and of the syringe shown in Figure 1 during the extraction of the needle of the syringe from the protection cap;
- Figure 5 is a perspective view of the protection device and of the cap shown in Figure 4 after extraction and with the protection device placed on a resting surface in a second stable position thereof;
- Figure 6 is a perspective view of the protection device and of the cap of the syringe shown in Figure 1 after extraction of the syringe from the protection cap and with the protection device placed on a resting surface in the first stable position thereof;
- Figure 7 is a perspective view of the protection device and of the syringe shown in Figure 1 during insertion of the needle of the syringe into the protection cap by means of one hand only with the protection device placed on a resting surface in the first stable position thereof;
- Figure 8 is a perspective view of the protection device and of the syringe shown in Figure 1 during the recapping of the needle of the syringe in the protection cap;
- Figure 9 is a perspective view of the protection device and of the syringe shown in Figure 1 during the removal of the syringe from the protection device;
- Figure 10 is a perspective view of the protection device and of the syringe shown in Figure 1 during the decoupling of the needle accommodated in the protection cap from the syringe;
- Figure 1 1 is a perspective view of the protection device and of the protection cap, accommodating the needle of the syringe, shown in Figure 1 during the removal of the protection cap from the protection device.
- the protection device with improved functionality particularly for syringes and the like, generally designated with the reference numeral 1, comprises a supporting body 2 which is substantially disk-like.
- the supporting body 2 is also provided with a hole 3, arranged coaxially to the supporting body 2, for the insertion of the covering cap 4 of a needle 5 of a syringe 6 or the like.
- the hole 3 has a diameter that is substantially larger than the diameter of the central portion 4a of the covering cap 4 and substantially smaller than the diameter of the end portion 4b of the covering cap 4 at the end for the insertion of the needle 5 so as to ensure the engagement between the two.
- the supporting body 2 has at least one flat face 7, arranged on the opposite side with respect to the face for the insertion of the covering cap 4 in the hole 3, for the resting contact of the supporting body 2 on a resting surface 8 or the like in a first stable position.
- a face 9 provided with a raised perimetric containment rim 10.
- a collar 11 is provided, that extends from the face 9 and which acts as a guide element for vertically supporting the covering cap 4 with the supporting body 2 placed on the resting surface 8 with its flat face 7.
- the collar 11 extends substantially at right angles from the face 9 for a length that is shorter than the height of the outer perimetric rim 10, in order to permit the resting contact of the supporting body 2 on the side of the rim 10 on the resting surface 8 or the like, with the flat face 7 directed upward.
- the collar 11 defines an abutment surface 12 upon which the flange 13 of the protection cap 4, if present, engages by contact.
- the protection cap 4 having only a conicalness concordant with the direction of insertion in the hole 3, then the end portion 4b, being radially larger than the central portion 4a, engages by mechanical interference the hole 3.
- the collar 1 1 has a length that is such as to allow the protection cap 4 to protrude for a predominant portion thereof from the face 7 of the device, when the device is lifted off the resting surface.
- the protection device with improved functionality particularly for syringes and the like, according to the present invention, fully achieves the intended aim and object in that its geometry enables it to be arranged in two stable positions from which it is possible to perform the procedure of recapping the needle of the syringe using both hands or only one hand at the operator's discretion.
- the possibly contaminated surface is always the same and is never in any way in contact with either the operator or the surfaces upon which the device is rested.
- Such possibility relates to the use of the device as a recipient for containing other material (e.g. glass of a phial or used cotton) when it is placed on a surface for recapping with one hand only.
- other material e.g. glass of a phial or used cotton
- the needle is recapped it is possible, after lifting the device off the resting surface, to grip the cap of the syringe from below so as to prevent the contents of the device from falling and, with a small rotational movement, separate the recapped needle from the body and then dispose of the body in a first container and then, still holding the cap, it is possible, by overturning the device, to dispose of the contents in a second container and finally, by releasing the cap, to dispose of the recapped needle in a third container.
- Another advantage of the protection device according to the present invention consists in that, when arranged with the rim turned upward, it is possible to use it as a recipient in which what is needed for performing the injection can be temporarily accommodated and therefore transported before performing it and, later, in which discarded material like vials, cotton or other materials can be disposed of temporarily after use, so as to not have to contaminate any other surface.
- Another advantage of the protection device consists in that the flat face that comes into contact with the operator's hand or hands never comes into contact under any circumstances with parts of the syringe which are potentially contaminant, thus protecting the operator's hands from direct contact with parts of the syringe that are potentially contaminant.
- Another advantage of the protection device consists in that the protruding position of the protection cap from the same side as the perimetric rim, as well as making it possible to recap the needle using two hands or only one hand, makes it more compact, and gives it a more homogeneous shape, thus making it better arrangeable and transportable in that it is free from surfaces that protrude outside the concave side of the protection device.
- a further advantage of the protection device, according to the present invention consists in that it is easier to handle and easier to clean thanks to its round shape, free from sharp corners and edges where dirt can become deposited.
- Another advantage of the protection device, according to the present invention consists in that it is economically competitive in comparison to the background art.
